Indie Music




Our band, Fools Paradise, are Indie/ Indie acoustic rock.

The conventions of an Indie music video are as follows:
-The video tends to be in black and white instead of colour
-The video is usually shot in a dark place to show more feeling
-There is usually alot of footage of the band playing their instruments
-Tends to have a narrative
-Alot of close ups of the band, especially their faces, to show emotion

One website that i used when finding this infprmation was

Some examples of successful indie rock bands are The Libertines, The XX, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Maccabees, The Rifles, Good Shoes, Arctic Monkeys, and many many more.


Indie Fashion

There is a fairly common fashion followed by those who listen to the indie genre. Younger bands and their followers such as the xx and Arctic Monkeys usually wear clothes that are quite simple and involve things such as skinny jeans, denim jackets, chequered shirts, hoodies, polo tops etc.





Older bands such as Oasis wear much smarter clothes such as shirts and blazers, yet there is still some similarities to the clothes of the younger generation such as denim jackets and chequered shirts.
